Meet Richard…

The path to “True Humanity” can be long and very difficult.

Unfortunately, in 2000 I lost a murder trail and was sentenced to Florida’s Death Row. I have served 16.5 years, living in a one man cell with a small fan, 13” color T.V., a desk, and two legal lockers. I had to buy the fan and T.V. While fighting to regain my liberty, God removed my father in 2005, and my mother in  2012. I felt like I was in the bible story of Job! I was not allowed to attend either funeral, and this made their passing that much more devastating, without closure. I went through a period of depression. However, I did not cut myself nor did I take any medication, as God was reshaping my spirit and heart. The path to “True Humanity” can be long and very difficult.
